The work was made for the ceremony marking 30 days of October 7.

October 7. The Death Toll. The Names.

It was important for me to give a place for each name, that they would not be part of a list, and would not be placed in a cut.
Each name appears and fades out, leaving an empty space,
the disappearance, the absence.

On October 7 winds of death filled the land.
I placed the names in a desert landscape, between 2 cypress trees
moving in the wind.
The Cypress trees make the transition from earth to heaven,
They stand by the two sides of each name, like guardians, a guard of honor, witnesses, candles.
The Cypress trees create the movement between here and beyond.
